My round 1 of P90X2 has finally started. Those in my P90X2 Challenge group are already finding the program challenging and fun. I have put together a P90X2 schedule for those who have started with me. I wanted to share it with you so you could see what we are doing and join us in the P90X2 challenge group. I decided to make 2 different schedules. Each schedule focuses on Strength and Performance. Making sure that you maximize those phases to get the best results in muscle strength and growth as possible. The difference between the two P90X2 schedules is that one is a 5 day schedule and the other is based upon a 6 day schedule that we have come to love from P90X. P90X2 Schedule B is only for those who have been working out for some time now. Those who have done P90X more than 2 round or those who have done P90X and a P90X hybrid (P90X/Asylum for example). Otherwise you should select P90X2 Schedule A.

Below are each of the schedules that I have come up with. You will need the P90X2 Advanced DVDs in order to be able to do them exactly. You won’t be disappointed. I believe this P90X2 Schedule will get you the best strength and performance results you could possible want.

What do you think? Do you like the way they are set up? Which one will you be doing?

I've been thinking of doing schedule B, however do you recommend doing that schedule for someone, like me, who's on his first round of P90X2? I'm transitioning from the Foundation Phase to the Strength Phase while thinking of doing Schedule B and adding Diamond Delts + ARX2 on Saturday (I wouldn't do ARX2 on the day of Base & Back). Also, I've done Insanity, Insanity The Asylum Volumes 1 & 2, P90X, P90X One On One's and now P90X2. What would be your recommendation? I'm trying to gain some lean muscle that's why the addition of the extra lift day but I'm afraid it might be too much on my shoulders since I've never done P90X2.

I have two dvds in my set of p90x2 that won't play. X2Core and X2 balance & power. since I won the package at a raffle the folks at beachbody won't / can't send replacement dvds. Anyone have any ideas? I just started the workouts and they are great- just wish I had a full set to work with.

I like the schedule a and b...only thing is third phase is the active rest day...i feel that PAP lower is so highly demanding that you could compromise that workout with your day before activity. You know what i mean? unless you are walking or something like that, but running might tear legs up to much...I am so excited for that phase! Good website to dude!

Nice, Coach! I'm currently doing my own preparation for P90X2, doing the ONE on ONE Volume 3 routines. Once that's completed, I'm gonna give your Schedule B a try.
By the way, I forgot to tell you, I'm really loving Chest X 2.0. I'm seeing gains with it.
Keep up the good work!

@Coach Sean - how do I MSG you? I've done p90x2 before and got amazing results and I'm having hard time losing 10 lbs I've gained back since finishing. Do you recommend 50/30/20 for a few weeks? Or should I do 40/40/20? Trying to lose 5-10 lbs for my wedding in 3 months. I'm 5'0 and currently at 110. I did hydrostatic body fat test and was at 16%. Any help is greatly appreciated.

@jen96jen Find me on facebook, that's the easiest way. All of the FB links on this site will take you there. I would do 50/30/20 for 2 weeks kand see how you respond. It sounds like you are in great shape
